Student life

University is a rite of passage, a time to make memories, create friendships, develop your professional confidence and strengthen your independence. So, when you’re choosing a university, it’s important to consider the overall package as well as the specific course.

Are you looking for a wide range of clubs, social activities and fantastic sporting facilities? Do you want to live in a compact city that offers easy access to the coast and countryside? Would you like a wide range of close to campus accommodation to choose from? Northumbria provides all of this as part of a package that sets us apart from others. 

University is about hard work but there’s also time for fun and at Northumbria University we offer everything you need to make sure that you can enjoy every minute.
